About

Welcome to the Valentino Chronicle! Thank you for coming to my website.


What you will find here are thoughts from a very overlooked segment of society, The Middle Class Conservative. Here you will find my most recent articles and those published on websites such as CNSnews, Frontpagemag.com and Zogby and World Net Daily.


Also I have links to some of my favorite websites that I hope you'll enjoy as well. Now on to the article of the week :


Valentino Chronicle on World Net Daily

Valentino Chronicle was once again published on the national news website World Net Daily (wnd.com). The article discusses the effects of blind loyalty on advocacy groups like the National Rifle Association, National Organization for Women, Civil Rights groups and Labor Unions.

 

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s racially charged comments brought to the forefront how Civil Rights groups have stopped caring about advocating for Civil Rights, and have instead become shills for the Democratic Party. By being in the pocket of the Democrats, any advocacy group gives up their autonomy and a lot of their power.

 

Same for groups that fall under the thumb of the Republicans.

The Myth of Loose Gun Laws

Over the last few months the anti-gun movement, with help from the establishment media, has started a new attack campaign with their usual flair for the dramatic, and lack of concern about the facts. Every article on gun-control during that time period mentioned that America has loosened regulations on buying, carrying and owning guns over the last three decades.

 

It is as if media outlets from Foxnews to Politico.com to Philly.com to The Washington Times all got the phrase from the same place.

 

We’ve seen this play before, from the use of the term “Saturday night special” or “assault weapon,” the anti-gun movement gets the media to define a type of gun or type of law in the most provocative way possible. Usually, the anti-gun talking points are welcomed by the establishment media because anything provocative increases television ratings and circulation rates of newspapers.

 

You can also bet that by defining our current gun laws as “loose,” the anti-gun leadership is setting up the debate so they can claim to want to “tighten” regulation, not enforce an outright ban on private ownership or repeal concealed carry laws.

 

Instead, they will be repackaging the old argument for reasonable gun control with a new less threatening catch phrase.

 

Many Americans will believe that “tightening” gun laws won’t infringe on the right to bear arms but instead will help keep criminals, or the mentally ill from getting their hands on a gun. Pro-gun advocates immediately see through the tired tactics, but the establishment media knows that the gun issue is a ratings bonanza, so they will quietly look the other way when our adversaries repackage old arguments.

 

After all, in the last few months, the “loose” gun laws in Texas and Florida were supposedly responsible for high profile spree killings. In both cases, the accused shooter allegedly had mental health issues and used the “loose” regulations to bypass the process designed to keep certain demographic groups from buying a gun.

 

Transferring responsibility to the gun laws instead of keeping it squarely where it belongs – with the shooter – is another long used tactic of the anti-gun movement.

Terrorism and Gun Control, A Perfect Match

The terrorist attack committed by Major Nidal Malik Hasan at Fort Hood, Texas brought the lack of security at such a large military base directly into homes across America. Leaders of the pro-gun movement, and many soldiers, weren’t quite as shocked because they knew most military bases are considered “gun-free zones, “due to concealed carry being banned.

 

Whether Hasan’s attack on American soldiers was sponsored by one of the bigger terrorist organizations is irrelevant since it gave terrorists a road map to complete similar attacks in the future. You can bet our enemies learned valuable lessons from his ability to kill so many of our best and brightest in such a short period of time. In one fell swoop, he taught terrorists where Americans are essentially defenseless.

 

His lesson included an easy way for our enemies to pick a spot to strike again – simply follow the “no gun” signs.

 

To think that terrorist organizations won’t learn from Hasan’s success is to live in a dream world. But then the anti-gun community in America has always lived in a dream world. Their adherence to a policy of disarmament for law-abiding citizens is nothing short of crazy, because we know criminals won’t turn in their guns.

 

The anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall was celebrated throughout the world earlier this year, which brought our victory in the Cold War back to national prominence. Imagine if we decided to win the Cold War by unilaterally dismantling all of our nuclear weapons without any expectation the Soviet Union would do the same and you have a blueprint for how the anti-gun movement wants to win the war on crime.

 

That’s not a far-fetched analogy since the anti-gun leadership clearly thinks having honest Americans turn in their guns will somehow force common criminals to turn their guns in as well. After all, if you believe the anti-gun movement’s logic, criminals are really honest people who become bewitched by an evil object that uses guile and cunning to overcome their otherwise law-abiding sensibilities.

Florida

The entire nation is engrossed by the media coverage of the armed thugs that killed a Florida couple known for adopting developmentally challenged children. It seems that the criminals attacked and killed a truly generous and caring couple who had dedicated their life to helping the less fortunate.

 

What most people missed in the coverage, however, is that the criminals apparently trained for weeks prior to the home invasion, and it took place with near military-like precision.

 

All of the anti-gun loons out there who claim calling the police is the best option can’t refute that the thugs who committed this horrible crime were in and out before anyone could respond.

 

From a report at Foxnews.com:

Daley and the Murderer

Noted gun grabber and first rate hypocrite Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago was vacationing at his family’s cottage in Michigan when one of his armed body guards caught an escaped murderer who was walking nearby. Daily, who accepts armed guards for himself while denying Chicagoans the right to carry a gun for self-defense was relatively quiet about the incident.

 

Maybe, for once, he realized the hypocrisy in his policy to deny millions of Chicagoans the right to use a gun for self-defense while he cavorts about with heavily armed guards. Had Daley been the average Illinoisan vacationing in Michigan, instead of the escaped murderer being confronted with a gun, the thug would have been free to attack the family without fear.

 

Of course, we already know Daley’s stance on the gun issue that follows the “it’s ok for me but not for thee” school of thought that is also used by President Barack Obama, noted gun grabbing U.S Senators Charles Schumer, Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer who all accept armed body guards while actively trying to deny honest citizens the right to bear arms.

 

How those people sleep at night is beyond comprehension and their actions to accept armed body guards is the height of leftist hypocrisy. Of course, there are those on the left who take an enlightened view on the gun issue, like Oho Governor Ted Strickland and understand people have the right to carry a gun for self-defense. Still, it is of little help to the millions of Americans who are attached every year after being denied the right to carry a gun by the likes of Mayor Daley and others of his misguided ilk.

 

What people don’t realize is that choosing to accept armed body guards while denying honest people the right to carry a gun shows the true character of a person or politician. They are saying, in effect, that they are above the law and are more important than everyone else.
There are few sentiments that are as anti-American as believing the people who make up our government are more important than a person casting a vote.

 

We know that it is the job of our elected officials to see that the will of the people is conveyed through their votes and actions in their respective offices. Instead, politicians of Daley’s misconceived mindset think they need to dictate policy to their constituents without regard for what the people really want. Full Story »
